The present disclosure is directed to a physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structure comprising at least one foam polypropylene/polyethylene layer with a KEE cap layer. The multilayer foam structure can be obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam layer composition layer with at least one cap layer composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

A wax-extender emulsion including a plurality of wax-extender complex particles suspended in water is described. A wax-extender complex includes a wax component, an organic extender component and a surfactant that stabilizes the wax component and the organic extender component collectively to form the wax-extender complex. The wax-extender emulsion comprises from 2 wt % to 30 wt % organic extender. During manufacturing, the organic extender and wax component are emulsified and homogenized together to produce the wax-extender emulsion. The wax-extender emulsion can be co-applied as a mixture with adhesive resin during wood-based composite manufacturing.

An interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention is an interlayer film for laminated glass having a one-layer or two or more-layer structure, the interlayer film includes a first layer containing a vinyl monomer polymer, the vinyl monomer polymer is a polymer of a polymerizable composition containing a monomer having a functional group having hydrogen bondability, and a laminated glass in which the interlayer film for laminated glass is arranged between two sheets of float glass having a thickness of 2.0 mm, a length of 30 mm and a width of 2.5 cm in conformity with JIS R3202 has a haze, measured in conformity with JIS K6714 by using a haze meter, of 0.5% or less.

This disclosure generally relates to retroreflective articles and methods of making such articles.

A method for manufacturing oil-in-water emulsions for parenteral administration as well as to the use of such emulsions in the treatment or prevention of malnutrition and/or a deficiency in essential fatty acids and/or EPA and DHA and or stroke, sepsis, Alzheimer's disease or cancer.

A composite material provided in the form of a sheet material includes at least one textile layer as a cover for an airbag. The cover is arranged to form at least one flap with a hinge which includes a hinge region. One side or both sides of the at least one textile layer includes a plastics coating. A melting point of the plastics coating is lower than a melting point of the at least one textile layer. The hinge region is arranged to form at least one single or double fold along the hinge so that the sheet material contacts itself once or twice. In a region of the at least one single or double fold, areas of the plastics coating are arranged to contact each other and, via a prior introduction of heat or a subsequent introduction of heat, are melted onto each other.

The invention relates to a component having a plate-shaped or profile-shaped support and a decorative surface layer connected to the support, the surface layer being formed of thermally curable resin and comprising a three-dimensional surface structure that is produced by embossing and is irregular. According to the invention, in order to inexpensively obtain a decorative surface which has good wear resistance and largely prevents disturbing finger prints, the surface structure comprises regions that are alternately ordered and non-ordered and that are formed by a ribbed and/or grooved structure, ordered regions having parallel and/or quasi-parallel ribs and/or parallel and/or quasi-parallel grooves being interrupted by non-ordered regions or structural breaks, and the width of the respective rib or groove being in the range of from 0.5 μm to 100 μm. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a component of this type using a corresponding embossing tool is disclosed and claimed.

There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which the flexural rigidity of laminated glass can be enhanced and the sound insulating properties of laminated glass can be enhanced. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention includes a thermoplastic resin, and has a smallest value of the shear storage elastic modulus in a temperature region of 10° C. or more and 40° C. or less measured at a frequency of 0.5 Hz of 3 MPa or more, a ratio of a shear storage elastic modulus at 20° C. measured at a frequency of 0.5 Hz to a shear storage elastic modulus at −30° C. measured at a frequency of 0.5 Hz of 0.01 or more and 0.8 or less, a glass transition temperature falling within the range of −20° C. or more and 0° C. or less, and a largest value of tan δ in a temperature region of −20° C. or more and 0° C. or less of 0.1 or more.

A method for producing an injection molded and anti-skid mat providing a lower mold half and an enclosing upper mold half, the mold halves defining therebetween an interior cavity which is a negative of the mat to be produced. A cavity defining surface is configured in the bottom mold half with locations for preplacement of a plurality of underside adhering portions. A flowable plasticized/rubberized material is communicated through a channel in at least one of the mold halves in order to fill the interior cavity, the material setting and cooling prior to removing the upper mold half and the formed mat.
